I did not know that -R and -J could appear together on the command 
line. I understood from the documentation that I must not use -J, but 
-R in order to create a CD that will be readable not only in W98.

This is interesting. Are there probably other configuration variables 
concerning /dev//hdc?

I think so. But I do not know as I have never burnt a CD in W98. May 
be can find the Nero program that came with my CD-RW drive.

Forget about Joliet. I definetely did _not_ use the -J option. This 
cannot be the reason why Linux refuses to mount my CDs.

    i:\cdrom\mkisofs -R -o c:\temp\image.iso %1
    i:\cdrom\cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -multi -eject c:\temp\image.iso

I was not sure whether it makes sense to add the -data parameter. 
Documentation says this is in order to support some Sony hardware. 
If you apply the parameter -data on multi session CD you get a 
different mode number in the track list (1 instead of 2). But 
this obviously does not make any difference in view of the mount 
problem.
